I'll check it out myself when I get home, thanks

You need to boot the game in Software Mode and load a race then you can switch to Hardware Mode. Switching to software while the game is running will not fix it, same as the black sky.

Workaround: Boot the game using software mode of GSdx, get in a race, exit back to menu then switch back to hardware renderer by pressing F9. Until you restart PCSX2 again, the sky will be blue, albeit a bit bugged

Switching to software while the game is running (before the race) fixes the black sky but ok I will try booting in software

It worked so I start the game with software and switch to hardware when the race starts. Thank you ^^

That fixes the windows issue too? I guess that's why I never got it, I always use the workaround for the sky

^ Me as well.

Try disabling WideScreen Patch,and set GSDX to Opengl......

[Blyss Sarania]

^ The fix was already found. What does OGL mode in GSdx do for this game?

This is the problem with the texture cache ><

[Blyss Sarania]

^ So how exactly does the software mode switch thing fix it? Does software mode have a different implementation of the cache?
